 Hi there, Many of you were REALLY kind to help me with this project a few months ago (O.K., more than a few months ago). It's a 108' long sculpture that spans a pond at a retirement community in NC. It's made of 22, 5'x10' sheets of 3/16" aluminum on the front, and 22 on the back (kind of has a 3-D effect). Installation will be within a month or so, and I will add pics of it soon after. By the way.........I used the Canvas design program, then saved the files as dxf's and sent them to the CNC machine. Canvas is good.......not the best however when it comes to sending the dxf's. This is only the drawing of it.......real pics will come soon......I am a bit nervous as I don't really know what it will look like when installed........am crossing fingers and saying lots of kind things to invisible realms..........  aluminum sculpture

If folks will click on the "original" link at the bottom of your post, they will get the larger version. It's actually quite large. Kudos to you Kimberli for getting this project underway. I know it will look just lovely above the pond! Hay, I also like your new user picture! |
